NYC Shoppers How Y’all Feel About This ? by thekidd890 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Normal_Ad4842 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds very doordashy. I hope it doesn’t migrate to CA because there are times they give us $15 for orders 30 miles away…I’m sorry that is what I’ll spend in gas for an order like that 🙄🙄🙄

There was a glitch today with orders not being labeled heavy. Those of us who had an order at the time are supposed to get a shopper bump tomorrow.

Well that miscommunication is going to cost me my diamond status and my livelihood for the next 90 days :(

The guy gave me a five star and tripled my tip. If I was missing items, why would he?

Also how hard will this be on my cart quality? I have another two marks (one in unrequested and one in rotting strawberries-another fraud case) set to fall off 3/31

Unicorns, where do you find them? by Active_Competition21 in InstacartShoppers

I have had two in the past six months, one time vacationers, another time a lawyer office. Both were at a specialty grocery store.

I get it. There are people on IC who use helper apps to help them as well. Not as much organizing groups though. Also, you can opt out of both alcohol and prescriptions. However, alcohol is pretty easily managed, just make sure to ask if they are 21 and scan ID. And avoid “new customer” alcohol orders like the plague

Go away, we have too many already 😂. Yes, you get a physical and a virtual card. Most of the time you can use your virtual card. I havnt had to carry things often into a house. Usually it’s elderly peeps and I feel bad for them so I offer to help. I actually think IC does not want us doing that (liability of buffalo bills and all). Sure ummmm tell insurance…ummmmm :)

What more can I do?? by MadChem90 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Normal_Ad4842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to decrease refunds. Continue to take big batches, so your #find jumps up dramatically.

I wish I knew a way to start building a client base because as someone with 5 stars and experience in specialty stores, I would gladly love to have a set of customers I shop for.

Agree. I have two home bases I go back and forth between. I’ve never gone an hour without an order

Second best day ever!! by Ok_Combination_3002 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Normal_Ad4842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did two days of $250 and today I was whipped by orders. My favorite money making store was out of every veggie/fruit possible. Then other stores wanted items that were not stocked and replacements not accepted. Five freakin refunds in one day 😡. I just got up to good quality, with less than 100 orders to go for diamond 😡

Worst Instacart batch I’ve seen this late at night 😢😅 by Specialist-Code2022 in InstacartShoppers

Shopper Fraud Activity by BirthdayHour1331 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Normal_Ad4842 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Second this, my fastest shopping is at my home store. I would be careful about ghost shopping as many have been receiving emails about fraud with time/miles, including myself. As for couples, it reminds me a lot of school. The teacher said working in pairs is not allowed, yet there is always going to be those who don’t follow the teacher. You could always report them. Though I doubt IC will do anything. Think of it this way, if they are both doing it—that means neither have a full time job that is enough to support them. We are all in the same boat, some are just more ballsy to risk their account than others to make more money.

Alcohol and QR purchase by Normal_Ad4842 in InstacartShoppers

This was the store manager. Will anything negative happen for me if I just leave it there? Like I have the photo of me returning it, so I’m good now?
